Bloody good idea. It's about time motorcyclists paid attention to the road rules, and if not, well, then pay fines instead.

The reason for not taking pictures from behind was never technical, it was always due to legislation which didnt put the responsibility on the owner of the vehicle (as you cant ID a driver from a photo from behind). They've been taking pictures from behind with cameras in other states for years..

And for what its worth, not ALL motorcyclists are law-breaking dickheads, Bonez.. (yes, I take that assertion personally!)

I'm very sorry if I offended you, but I've never met, OR seen a motorcyclist who genuinely follows the road rules.

Mind you, car drivers are not much better in most cases, however they are marginally better when it comes to speed limits.

I seldom see a motorcycle doing the speed limit, regardless of where they are riding.

It's the truth, and it's time these people are caught and fined.

Hmmm that looks like a pricariously balanced Dell Inspiron hmm say 8300. If they have problems with ID of driver from the back, what about a setup, that hides most of the bulky bits that identify a multinova. I often see reversed multi-nova's, on the other side of morley outside the one primary school towards Guildford end. Thats probably because the police find it easier to park and hide their car on the one cross street and Lazer the 2 lanes that I'm in. Still haven't been caught yet, but I think that's due to me ensuring that I'm at 40km/h during school times.

Yep. Ditto. Regardless of what I think of the appropriateness of the posted speed limits on some roads... school zone - dead on 40.

In some regards I think the police probably would like to be able to pull me over, some might say I play my music too loud, but I got sarcasticly told the audible range of my music the other day was about 2km, so it's fine.

Depends what type, classical and R&B/Hip Hop should be turned right down, and Country should be below mute. Metal on the other hand, is naturally loud and is meant to be loud therefore...anyway we're digressing, wicked pics of the camera's!

I wish they could catch and fine all the car drivers that almost kill me every time I ride :cry:
